Hi,

It would be nice if smartd could report a bit more information about a
failure than only the device name. For example the output of hdparm -i
to be easier to identify the device.
Reason in my case was that I haven't received mails from smartd because
of a misconfigured smtp daemon and meanwhile I changed hdd
configuration. And the old hda became hdb, and a new hda came in. And if
I dont check back the logs, then I have a false warranty issue... :)

UUID is not enough.

I would rather that the emails like the one quoted below would include as much information as possible or maybe configureable.

smartctl -i /dev/sds
fdisk -l /dev/sds
mdadm --examine /dev/sde1
lsscsi | grep /dev/sds
lsscsi -t | grep /dev/sds

It would be nice to be able to see the enclosure it was sitting in as well, + the controller, but lsscsi shows the controller,

lsscsi --hosts

sg_inq /dev/sds

This sample output is outdated. Starting with smartmontools 6.0 (October
2012), the warning mails include device identify info (Model, S/N, WWN,
FW, Size).
